If someone asked me. Hey Beejay! What’s the most secure internet browser for PC? I would say Google Chrome!
Why? Google Chrome has lots of benefits, from private browsing to extensions and lots more. I have been using Google Chrome for years now, And I haven’t encountered any issues security-wise.
Security extensions take all the credit for protecting our privacy and keeping threats out of our internet experience.
They’re mostly VPN’s which we’ve already talked about in best free VPN apps for Android, best paid VPN Apps for Android.
